Message in bottle

About 24years ago Frank Uesbeck, a German boy, tossed a message in a bottle off a ship in the Baltic Sea. Now, being almost 30, he has received an answer from a 13-year-old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh who found the bottle while walking on a beach in the Kaliningrad region.

Uesbeck and Korotkikh plan to send each other letters.

I think that the letter from Daniil was a nice surprise for Frank who could have forgotten about his message in a bottle after so many years.

Goldilocks

I used to read stacks of books when I was a child. My parents usually gave me books as gifts for different occasions and that's why I have quite a sizeable collection. Fortunately, I am too sentimental to get rid of them and I keep them all somewhere in the basement.
A book that I associate with my childhood is "Goldilock and the Three Bears" because I was learning to read with this book. I remember myself sitting and reading this book aloud when I was 5 and my mom combing my hair and giving me some hints. The word "niedźwiedź" was particularly diffcult for me. I couldn't distinguish between "b" and "d" but with a little help from my mom, I finally managed to master all the letters ;)
